I time is near at hand when Ilia;Democracy of.lhe nation, through its delegatee, will assemble in National Convention, at Baltimore* for-the Im portant duly of placing In nomination candidates I for the Presidency and Vico Presidency. Theoc-' oasion will be one of great importance—an occa sion when delegates from the shores of the Pacific will meet delegates from the shores of the Atlantic, arid all having the same object in view, viz—the triumph of Democratic principles. “Who will be the nominee for PresidentV* is a question frequently asked, but which cannot be satisfactorily answered by, any human being.— Fortunately for the country and the Democracy, (and‘the' one Is-indissolubly identified with the other,) it makes-Utile difference who Is named for this highest of earthly honors, so that he.be a statesman of ability, and. "who .is -sound on the leading questions that divide the two great politi cal parties of our country. The wise and eniighu I enod policy of the Democratic parly has made our country what-lt is—great in wealth, great in terri tory, and great in* the estimation of the worW.— Our stars and stripes proudly wave from the At lantic to the Pacific, affording shelter to the op pressed of all nations, and protection to every par ty and sect. The success of the Democracy of the nation is a triumph for the country—a triumph of the people—a triumph of principle. The De jmocracy contend “for measures, not men.* 1 Foder lismcontends for men and the spoils of office. The policy and aim of democracy is to make our country great in every thing; the policy and aim of Federal ism is to degrade our institutions and to build up a privileged aristocracy* Such are the objects of the two political parties of the present day. Wo say then, that it makes but little difference who may be named as our standard-bearer by th® National Convention, whether he be Cass, Bu. chanan, Douglass, Houston, Boyd, Marcy,-Lane, Allen, or any other well-tried Democrat, whose principles are fixed, and who knows no North, no South, no East, no West. Let the convention de clare, in bold and emphatic language, tho princi ples which govern the Democratic parly—let ad herence to the Compromise measures be made a leading .principle—let the resolutions of 18AB bo re-asaerled, find our “ platform’ 1 will bo broad enough and strong enough lo carry us safely and triumphantly to victory ! We trust there may be no contonfipn-in-lhe Convention in regard to men, but that* al I may feel the importance, nay the necessity, of union *and harmony. The Delegate who attempts to force or bully the Convention into tho nomination of any mao, should bo pul down 1 , as a disturber of the peace in the Democratic family, We sincere ly hope the Convention may meet and adjourn In harmony, after naming out alandard-bearera for | the approaching contest. This is tho spirit we deslro to seo pervade the entire party, for when united, the Democracy can bid defiance <: lo Fed eralism. _ A KILKBNWV aCAIUIEI.. It is quite arousing to road the prominent Federal journals at tiro present way they black guard each other, is really shocking lo the sensitise oar. And what ore they fighting about 7 Why about the Compromise measures—so the y toy. The Fillmore wing of the parly, who stylo thomsplres ••National whigs," desire to make adherence to those measures a parly lost—they declare they will sup port no man for President, who refines, to pledge right, of course, and we are glad to see that there are some patriotic men oven In Iho Whig ranks. The Scott men. however, who are more office-seekers, and who are headed by such men as Giddings of Ohio, Seward qf Now York, Gov.-Juhnslon of Penn sylvanla, and others of like kidney, stoutly contend fur the “mum” principle, end declare and swear that they will oppose any man for Prcsidinl who fu vois.lho Compromise. So matters aland. Uiko the fight of the Kilkenny cals, the conflict is biller and desperate. The Federal papers on either side are down on oaoh other “like a thousand of brick,” and to a disinterested person who don’t care a fig who licks, it Is qolto refreshing to stand aloof and witness this sanguinary contest. Now, is this quarrel real? Are tiro Compromise measures the bono of contention between the “ Silver Groya” and the « Woolly Heads 7” Wo doubt it. Wo believe it is a more fight for iho spoils of office. It is a fight between those in office and those who wont office—a contest between the “ ina” and the “ outs.” Should Fillmore succeed In his nommalion and olco lion, the same dynasty now In power, would of course bo continued in office. Should Scott, on the other hand succeed in reaching the Presidential chair, he would turn out the Qalphint now in office, to make room for a still more hungry sol of cormorants. — This, then, is the causo of the present angry quarrel; with a few honaruh|ooxceplioijs, neither wing care a tlraw about the Coihpromiso measuios, but they all care for the “ spoils.” Well, lot thorn fight—who cares? Wo know of no principle of morals whlsh need prevent any man, especially a Whig, from adapting himself to existing circumstances. Fatal Affray in .Indiana—At Covington, Indi. ana,on the Bih insl-.an altercation took place between the lion. E. A. Hsnnogan ond his brolhcr-in-Iaw i John R. Duncan, when the former struck the latter with a bowlo-knlfo, In the upper region of Iho abdo men, and entirely severed the duodenum. The parts wero as soon as possible reunited and sowed together by surgeons, but the wound proved fatal. The suf. ferer sank from the inward loss of blood until the next day, about ono o’clock, when ho expired, lie was a brother of the late lion. Daniel Duncan of Ohio, and was about 45 years of ago. The exciting cause of this unhappy affair was liquor, of-which both had been partaking freely. The immediate occasion was some dissatisfaction as to a trade in property. Franklin Countt.— Tho Whiff Convention o( Franklin count; assembled at Cliamberaburff on (ho 18lh Inst., and after elootinff Conferees to represent ihomin iho Distiicl Conference, recommended Da* vld T. Robinson, Esq., as Iho candidate for Congress Geo. A. Madeira, Esq., and Captain G. T.Campbell, wore placed In nomination for tho Assembly The New Gold Dollar. — A now dollar gold piece baa been struck at tho mini, apd forwarded to the Department at Washington for approval. It is about the size of a dime, and having an opon centre of nearly tho size of tho present coin. On tho one sido is (ho word “ Dollar,” under which is a wreath, and on tho other sido “ United States of America, 1853.” Wo think tho coin a decided improvement on the ono now in use, os it Is nut so likely to bo given out for another, as is frequently nnw tho case. It will doubtless become popular, and supercede tho old dollar, as soon db put in circulation. i Excitement at Richmond.—Gov. Johnson, of Virginia, having commuted to transportation tho sentence of Hotelier, the slave who was to have been hung at Richmond,yeaterday,on Indignation meeting was called in that oily lost night, to- de< nounoo him for hla clemency to (he culprit; It created no liltlo excitement. * jiaicb good nominations. We aro glod 'to fiee the Democratic papers of the ‘Slate, urging the importance/and.necesaliy of ihaking< good nominations—particularly for mombers of Assembly.' Experience is sometimes a severe, but yet a necessary; lesson. rTbera has been, in every county, great carelessness-manifes* tod in nominating members for Assembly,'and the consequents is, that we are cursed Wiih bad laws, and our Legislature has become a by*wor.d and a reproach. Men aspire to a seat in theiLegislataro now-a-days, who never were by’’God or man, to occupy so position, Had men of the same caliber fifty years back, expressed a wish to be eluted members of the Legislature,- ijiey wouldjiavo been considered fit subjects for an insane asylum—they would have been regarded 1 ~aXy, and been watched tjnd guarded by. their Idas friends, as men dangerous to ran at large, aj/times are not now as they “ used to was***—• in this “ progressive ago” every one almost, con siders himself fit for a Legislator, and it too often happens that County Conventions’\ako the candi date at his word, and notpiotyle and elect him.— Often too, corrupt men—men who are ready- to make .money by receiving a bribe-pare honored by a seal in the Legislature, and irt that capacity make money by their votes. Tw Legislature of Pennsylvania at every session, for years past, has been disgraced arid cursed, with members of this 1 character. It is no difficult' matter for the experi enced and adroit u borer” to ascertain who can bo seduced from duty by the power of\ the almighty dollar, and the convincing is according ly used. Thus do we. witness, oyerjr the passage of bills lhat-shook the moral sense of the people from ono end of the Slate to the other.— And yet, sirange as it may appear, the very mem bers who voted for these bills, and who were paid for doing so-,are often sustained by their constitu ents, and are again returned loCthe Legislature, to contaminate and corrupt it, • This .but em boldens a corrupt member* and induces him to plunge deeper and deeper into Infamy and villainy. It is rewarding dishonesty, and honoring a rascul, whose proper plane would be ihelPenitenllary. Wo make no reference to Cumberland coun'y In these remarks, for,-to our-credil bo it said, we generally have faithful and good men from “old Mother Cumberland.” Wo have, it Is true, occa sionally elected men to this position who were not, it was supposed, ihodoscendants of Solomon, but they possessed honesty and sufficient intelligence to make fhom valuable Representatives. We'only hope our next County Conven«i9n may fool iha importance of nominating good men for Assembly -men of intelligence—who understand the.wants as era; and wishes of the people. Our county was ably represented In the last Legislature, and although I one was a Democrat hnd the other a Whig, ohr two Representatlvee were a credit to their constit uents. Let u3,-as near as we can, keep up to this standard, aod select our best men for this im portant position, We do not mean to say that we must have professional men selected—far from it. We have hundreds, yes, thousands of farmers and mechanics in Cumberland county, who possess’ the necessary qualifications to make not only safe, but valuable members of Assembly—and of all others they aro more deeply interested in an eco nomical administration of government and the en actment of wholesome laws. We trust, for the honor of oor Stole, that our Legislature may henceforth he composed of wise and honest men. The best men in the Slate aro HOT 'IO7|JUUU IVI uiwiti W»I • lime the people of the different counties should turn theif attention to this subject. Lot our. Legisla ture be composed of incorruptible men, and then will the business of those vultures, the profession al borers, be at an end. The Democratic National Convention.—Tlio New York Post calculates that on ibo first and llio subsequent ballots in the Baltimore Convention, Gen Cass will got 91 voles.

It says that Mrs. Forrest, or rather Mrs. Sinclair, having offended somo of the witnesses who sworo her through tho perils of the late trial, have turned against her, and accused her of moro crimes than tlioso sworn to by Ann Flowers. They have boon to Mr. Van Buren and to Mr. Forrest, and informed them of tho Indiscre tion and familiarities of thoir lato patroness, and stirred up to a new trial. A Bio Ratt.— Tho longest raft that ever floated down the Ohio river, arrived at Cincinnati on tho 91st Inal. It is thirty rods In length, and six rods wide, it contains ono million two hundred thousand foot of boards. —•Tux Overland Emigration.— A gentleman of Qulcna, who recently oamo across tho Phi ins, slates that a largo number of emigrants who had started for California ovorluhd, wore returning, in consequence of the bud stulo of (lip rands. Tnx late earthquake was fell distinctly in Orceno and Fayette counties, in this Slate. Some oflhcso shocks wore so violent as to slop the motion of man* lot clocks, produce an audible commotion among tho cupbokrd dishes, and greatly to agitato the house* and other building*. ' »ALb THE DECENqy.” The Whigs of New York have had their own troubles in the election of delegates to .the Nation al Convention. The contest between-the » Na- tional Whiga,’ 1 (the"Filimo'rb men,) and the Sew ard or Abolition portion of the party, who ore in favor of Gen. Scott for President, has been fierce, If not disgraceful. We copy the following arti cles from the New York fot tho purpose of lotting our readers know,how “all tho decency parly?’ manages its preliminary organisation in •New York: ’ • Firrti Ward.~-ATow interrupted theelection at this Word./ The fight was a hard one and blood was shed. Several men were badly bruised, and our reporter saw one who bad been slabbed in the back. Finally the police Interfered and slopped the fight. In the contest the ballot-box was grab bed, and foir a lime was invisible. It was sald o by one of the Inspectors that it was carried from the room, (a back room) in the Marion House, and iio accordingly refused to have anything to do with counting the votes; tho other Inspectors declared that it Tied only been kicked into a corner, and proceeded to count the voles. , The result was de clared in favor of the Fillmore men. Political Overthrow.— Thos. Earle, a politi cian, while actively engaged yesterday morning at the Marion House, No. Ul, West Broadway, in serving his country at the Primary Election, which was there going on at the time, wasseized by another more athletic politician, to him un known, and pitched out of a second story window, Mr. Earle alighted upon the top of a sky-light, which gave way under the weight of his person, and permitted him to descend in the room below. Ho was taken to the Hospital somewhat injured, where lie remained a short time and then walked ■ off. It is somewhat remarkable that he was not killed. Homeitrad ISllli The House of Representatives at Washington, on Wednesday last, passed the Homestead Bill, by 107 to 56. ' The bill authorizes every Ameri can citizen to claim, improve, and occupy one hundred and sixty acres of tho surveyed and unap proprialed public lands, which are open to pur chase. Nearly every member of the Pennsylva nia delegation voted in favor of the bill. It is thought that a strong effort will bo made to defeat it in tho Senate, The following is on obstraol: ■ The bill now presented provides that any per son who is-the head of a family and a citizen of the United Slates, or any person who is the head ofa family and had become a citizen prior to the first day of January, 1853, as required by the nat uralization laws of the United States, shall, from and after the passage of this act bo entitled to en terpfreo of cost, one quarter section of vacant and unappropriated public lands, or a quantity equal thereto, to be located In a body, in conformity with the legal of the public lands, and af ler the same shall have been surveyed. 3d. The person applying for the benefit of the act, to make an affidavit that he or she is the head of a family, and Is not the owner of any estate in land at the time of such application, and has not ’ disposed of any estate in land to obtain the benefit i ofthe act. 3d section refers to the duties of the Land Reg , Isler. • , . , , 4ih. All lands acquired under the provisions of [ho act shall in no event become liable to the sal isfaclion of any debt or debts contracted prior to the issuing of the patents therefor. slh. If, at any lime after filing Uie affidavf required, and before the expiration of five years.il shall be proven lhal the person boating on such lands shallliave changed his orTior residence, or abandoned ihe said eniry for more than six months tu any one time, then the land to revert back to the Government, and Jbe disposed of as other public lands are now by law. G. If any individual, now a resident of any Stale. or Territory, end not a cHlzen of the United Stales, mil at me fitmrui niannrg iui fit. of the act shall hnvo filed a declaration of intention so to do, as required by the Naturaliza tion laws of the United Slates, nnd shall become a citizen of the same before iho issuing of the pa tent, as made and provided for in this act, he shall he placed upon an equal footing with the native born citizens. 7th, No Individual ia permitted to make more than one entry under this act. The Cash System on the Public Works, Among the few praiseworthy acts of (ho last Leg. isLturo, was one which will have a tendency to bring about a more economical administration of (ho Pub lic Works. It requires the officers in'ohargo of thoi Works to deal wholly for cosA, and also provides for the publication of the pricei paid for labor and mate rials ; so that horealUtf the people will bo able to see where the public tnonvy goes. This act forms flec tions 31 of (ho General Appropriation Bill, and is ss follows S Section 34. That from and after (ho Ist day of June next, no officer on the public works ahull be al lowed to contract a debt against the Commonwealth for any purpose whatever, except ia cases of breeches or damages by tiro; but all (ho material purchased fur tbo use of said works shall bo paid for in cash at (ho lime of (he delivery of such materials, and the laborers, agents and subordinates, employed by said bo paid in Full al the end of each month. If the appropriation mode by this act, for the repair ofdsmoges by flood and fire,should not be sufficient for that purpose, the Slate Treasurer Id hereby au thqriicd to pay out of thu money in the treasury, not otherwise s ppropriated, such further sum as the Guv. ornor, Auditor General, Slate Treasurer and Canal Commissioners may deem - necessary to complete such repair; and it shall bo the duty of the superin tendents oa the Philadelphia and Columbia, and Al legheny Portage Iluilroads, nnd the supervisors on tho several divisions of the Canals, al (ho close of each month, after the expiration of tho above period to make out and transmit In tho Canal Commission ers and Auditor General, a detailed statement of their respective accounts, allowing the amount nf money disbursed, (ho number and names of the laborers, ogcnls and subordinates employed, the number of days* work performed and (ho amount paid cadi, the kind and quantity of materials purchased, the price paid for the same, and tho name of tho person or persons from whom purchased; and it shall bo the duty of the Auditor General to cause n condensed abstract from said accounts to bo published for (wo weeks, in al least ono weekly newspaper on tho prop er line or division, which abstract shall exhibit the average daily pay for labor, nnd the detailed price paid for (ho different kinds of materials on said di visions respectively, with tho names of- tho persons from whom purchased, tho kind of materials nnd the price paid therefore : Provided, that no porehnso of a smaller amount than too dollars shall bo published as aforesaid. Tho Senate also passed a section forbidding the granting of Jree ticket* on tho Slate Railroads, but the House refused in it. This privilege has been shamefully abused, and public policy re quires that it should bo either greatly restricted or totally abolished. Minnesota.— Gov. Ramsey has Issued his proc tarnation, giving official notice that tho Maine Liquor Law has been ratified by tho people of Minnesota, and went into effect on tho 3d instant. Tho majority for It was only 101. A Nice Distinction. —ln Massachusetts, (ho Maine Liquor Liw has passed, which prohibits its own oiihons to vend Inioxlo iilng liquors to each other, but permits them to manufacture end sell it in ony quantity to oilier Slates, They regard liquor as poison tor themselves, bill find it tho sluplo of a nice speculation with others. This is genuine yen kccisiu. Tiir Curan Trials, in Ohio, have resulted In the same maimer as those in Nuw York and New Or leans, tho jury being unable (o sgroo upon a verdict. The principal 'Witness was one CMmon, who eon* foiled upon the stand that he was hired to act as a spy upon the movements of Major Robinson, tho parly on trial. Lift Tnsarauoei We learn from the' 1 Harrisburg Union, that a very important case was tried in that'borough, a few, days since, which is thus stated: • « Daring the last summer, a person residing in York county, by .the name of Wm, Calendar, took outa.policy of insurance on his life, in tho Key stone Life Insurance Company of this place, for five thousand dollars, : and,on ihdt or the succeed ing day died from thd effects of arsenic. The Com- Ipany refused payment on the policy, and. the ad -1 ministrator of Mr. Cafendar brought suit for the recovery of" the money, it. was proved most con clusively that Calendar was poisoned, and strong circumstantial evldonco was adduced to sho.w" hat ho had taken the poison himself. He had talked to several persons on the day he affect ed the insurance In reference to the effect of suicide upon his policy, and a person answeringlo his de scription, purchased arsenic in a drug store on that day. On his way home to York county, he was taken violently ill, and died shortly after wards, and on analyzing his stomach largo quan tities of arsenic were found in It* • . y | The Union says that lon of tho Jury .were for sustaining the Insurance Company in resisting the payment of the policy; while two were for ma king them pay the amount. Wo think that there were at least ten common-sense men on that jury; for a company might as justly be held to tho pay ment of a policy of fire insurance, where tho holder of the policy had sol the premises on fire, as to be required to pay the life jfollcy of a man.

Death of John Howard Payne—A VJftshinglon letter, in the Baltimore Patriot the death of John Howard Ppanc, Esq.,our Consul at Tunis, and llio author of several dramatic works, and a number of other literary productions including llio popular song of “ Home, Bwccl Homß.” Mr. Payne was among the first of our successful dramatists.— Ho was the author, we believe* of Ujp trogedy of Brutus, or the Fall of Tarquin,ond a number pf other pieces, which aro among 7 tho. standard acting I dramas of the day. j (Cj’Tho Legal Intelligencer of May 14, publishes thuopinon of Chief Justice Black, in tho'paso of tho “ Bank of the D.

Since 1841 the bank has not paid any one of the annual instalments, duo according to the terms of ila charter. Tho opinion reviewing tho case, is able and conclusive. Some one has said that a man who would rpb' a printer would walk to California without shoes, to save a quarter —when there, ride on a sharp-backed horse to tho mines, and then dig for gold with his fists, feet, head, and elbows, twenty three hours out of tno twenty-four for six/fan 'ycdxs.
